A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2689

What a joke! All that talk about remarrying and about loving me. Turns out it was nothing but a lie.Men think with the part that's below their belts.Smack!

In her daze, Joan accidentally knocked a drinking glass off the table. She felt the living room spin before her eyes.

She steadied herself and seized her phone to search for Larry's number. She wanted to call him so badly but she did not have the courage to do so.

She was afraid that Larry would tell her that he had moved on.

Ring!

Before she could dial his number, her phone rang

instead.

At the sight of the caller, Joan picked up immediately.

Joan.

Jessica's voice sounded uneasy on the other end.

“Jessica, is everything alright?” Joan asked at once.

“I'm sure you've seen the news, haven't you? Don't worry, I'm sure Larry has a reasonable explanation for that, don't overthink...”

Jessica made everything sound so simple but Joan could not believe a word of it.

If it were Casper on TV with Della, I'm sure Jessica wouldn't sound so calm!

“I know.” Joan was about to hang up.

“Wait!” Jessica suddenly shouted in a panic.

Joan jumped and held the phone an arm's length away from her ear.

“Don't come back yet. Larry is attending to this matter and he is worried about it affecting you...” Jessica explained.

It was true. When Joan first saw the news, her first impulse was to return to the country and confront Larry about it.

“Jessica, talk to me. What is actually going on?” Joan asked with concern.
